I'm so grateful...

- for the grace of God.

- that when God looks at me, He doesn't see a divorced person, but His child.

- that He has forgiven me of my sins.

- that if I were the only person on this earth, Jesus would have still died for me. And I BELIEVE that.

- that I don't have to answer to man for my failings.

- that God is such a BIG God that He still wants to use me to minister to His people.

- that God can use anyone, anytime, anywhere in whatever way He sees fit.

- "The Lord is my Light and Salvation. Whom shall I fear?"

- That God loves me enough that He has had to bring me to my knees in order to reveal my sinful heart. Dear Jesus, I pray that others will not have to go through what I did in order for You to get their attention.

- that my hope is in the Lord.

- that I'm in such a different and BETTER place in my walk with the Lord than I was even 5 years ago.

- for REAL people and relationships. (Hypocrites need not apply.)

- second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh chances from God...to infinity.

- to be a child of God and that He calls me His daughter.

- that I don't have to be perfect.

- that I KNOW I am not capable of making right decisions without the Lord's help.

- for the chance God has given me to make mistakes, and that out of those bad decisions, I have come to know how much I NEED God.

- that I'm not in control.

- that God is able.

- it's all about Him - not me.

- that no situation is hopeless.

- for the gift of faith.

- that God is longsuffering.

- that I KNOW and UNDERSTAND grace. Dear Jesus, please help me to be quick to GIVE grace.

- I have an opportunity to teach Sophie what I know about God.

- that He loves M-E.

- that I serve an AWESOME God. Not for what He can do for me but because of who He is.

- this place is not my home.
